I never said "do nothing", what I said is I agree with Adam that once the punches start we do not get physically involved - we use our whistle and voice to try to control it as much as we can.
That's a good defense in court:
"my state doesn't provide training, and I don't know why the kid didn't respond to my whistle or voice".
Q. What training did your state give you in dealing with a fight?
